Brussels: Europe has welcomed the announcement that Israel and Hamas have signed off on the first phase of a peace plan championed by US President Donald Trump. “The EU will continue to support the swift and safe delivery of humanitarian aid into Gaza. And when the time comes, we will be ready to help with recovery and reconstruction,” European Commission chief Ursula von der Leyen said in a statement.
